[Neil is standing near the fountain, watching the insanity of the crowded City unfold.]

So wait... what the hell is going on today?

...No one ever tells me anything.

[ooc: OPEN ACTION, DOUBLES WILL BE WELCOMED, SPOILERS FROM BEYOND MID-BOOK 4 (where this guy's from) ARE ALSO COOL TODAY. BASICALLY EVERYTHING IS OKAY. I'M EXCITED. =D
also: I will be trolling under my personal account, jeilovesyou. As myself. So... that's who that is. If you wondered. Hah.
also also: I KNOW I HAVE A MILLION AND ONE TAGS TO DO, I promise I'll get to it after I have my tea.
AAAAAAAAND ACTION!]

Comments

I figured you might know who they were! YES! Finally someone does.

An older man and a young boy also pop up from behind a counter of some sort.



They're all grinning encouragingly at you. How could you say no to those faces?

I AM GIGGLING SO HARD YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Well, this is kid of weird. But why not.]

Uh, sure? Got anything with spaceships and lots of gratuitous explosions?

Hooray! I'm so glad. Also, 1/?

This time the boy speaks. He bends down to grab a tape, and puts it into the VHS player on the tv in the store.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

The feed switches to the screen of the tv just as the video turns on, and there is the same boy, in a badly-made blonde wig, and the same girl in an oddly-cut blue wig, standing awkwardly in the middle of the screen.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

Then, whispered,

Someone who is clearly their father pushes a bunch of poorly made cardboard cut-outs with badly drawn faces on them, they are numbered.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

A small pause, before he lightly slaps each one of the figures down, in order, one at a time.

The last one nearly hits him, and he jerks back a little, frightened, before he remembers that it poses no actual danger, and smiles.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

They turn to each other, start to inch towards giving each other a kiss, draw back, inch, draw back, and then they awkwardly just shake hands, happily.

6/6-Done!

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

As the movie ends, the feed switches back to the three of them applauding in the store front.





The father nods in agreement, then, all together they shout,

THAT WAS THE ACTUAL BEST THING EVER

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

...That was the actual lamest thing ever.

1/2

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

Contrary to being offended, they seem pleased.

The subject line compared to the actual comment made me crack up.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

I AIM TO PLEASE

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I'm... pretty sure I won't be.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

Their faces suddenly look very much not happy.

I applaud you, good ma'am.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

The boy reaches down, and grabs something in a bowl, offering it to- the screen?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

What? Why?

That's an awesome face.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

Your MOM is an awesome face. (??)

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

If you're gonna charge for screenings or whatever, you should probably collect ahead of time. Y'know, warn people.

WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT?

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

i have my sources?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Those bastards. Maybe. I don't even know any more.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

There is a whispered, huddled, discussion.

I know. But I'm not telling you.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I don't have... any. Of those things.

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

And the camera pans out to show them dancing around the store. Well, some people might call it dancing. And where the hell did that accordion music come from?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[...This is alarming. Neil is just going to excuse himself from this one.]

[its-much-better.livejournal.com]

You do that. They're just going to keep dancing on into forever. Or at least until credits roll, and the camera feed fades out.
